• Successfully lead multiple different projects of varying complexity.
• Reduced logging of our application from ~1Tb per day to 90Gb per day. Saving us $1000's a month in AWS and monitoring costs.
• Implemented Elasticsearch for full text search across millions of documents with sub 100ms response times. Ingestion is also "real time". Prior search experiences was taking on average 3seconds.
• Optimized many PostgreSQL queries, by improving indexing, analyzing index usage, as well as query structure. An example of this is a query that was taking a minute to run on production was reduced to sub 1s by my efforts.
• Go to person for query optimization and endpoint performance optimization.
• Implemented the most requested feature for Scribe, which is the changing of the click target color.
• Implemented feature flagging using an external vendor. This made deployment of new code substantially less risky and unlocked the ability to do A/B testing organization wide.
• Conducted dozens of interviews for new candidates (backend and technical walk through)
